About this work:
clarikinetics is a fantasy-etude of sorts that demands quite a number of so-called extended techniques from the performer including circular breathing, steady rhythmic endurance, and physical motion including foot-stomping and toe-tapping while making use of the clarinet’s entire range.
clarikinetics was written for Deborah Bish and was completed on July 31, 2003 in Potsdam, NY.
Year composed: 2003
Duration: 00:10:30
